Reaction to the line-up has so far been mixed, with one fan describing the bill as “one of the best line-ups they’ve had in a while” and another calling it “beyond shocking, really bad”.

One NME reader wrote: “A few surprises I didn’t see coming like Beck and Madness. Can’t wait!”

However, another said: “Barring Foals and Muse, that line up doesn’t excite me very much”.
